My car runs low 14s for a grand total cost of $8000, including purchase price and all repairs. I think that's the big deal. (plus, it would have been a lot cheaper to build a TII without custom wheels and color-change paint...kind of like Vosko is doing)

I good turboII with intake/exhaust... MINOR mods will run high 13's to low 14's. Now start providing me a list of stock cars that run that. Even more for the price of a TII and being so old of a car.

Please exlclude vetts/porches/ etc.... Of course they run badass times. I haven't been to the track lately, I should now run 13.8.14.1 and since then I haven't lost many races..I've taken out the new audi turbos s4's, mustang gt's. I've lost to a couple vettes and mustang cobra's, but by about 1 car, and the stang cobra was modified. Thats bullshit...I want you to line all the "new" cars today that are going to beat my car that runs a 14.0. Unless you start reading off vetts, porsches, cobras, ss, ws6, or **** like that, its not happneing.

how much does your clutch slip? if it grabs too hard maybe something weaker will cut your 60' down.

the problem is i just got kumho 712's they are hard as hell i did big burnouts to heat them up and i just spun the entire 60 FT. i'm gonna race again with either two of my FD rims or my drag radials that should drop the 60 FT to 2.0 or less with the drag radials

not tons of mods, and its a car he bought for 500 bucks as opposed to the 20,000 + for a new car that runs that....

i'm hoping to break into the 13's the next time i go back to the track. i ran a 14.2 with shitty tires(broke traction in every gear) and extremely dirty injectors(if car doesn't start right up it floods itself and secondaries don't kick in til 4500 rpm when there is enough fuel pressure to bypass the dirt) hopefully i will get my launches down packed like i had in my FD so i can run that number!

here i have my timeslip posted

Does your TII have a series 5 engine or series 4?
